Therapy Associate

Job description

Cerebral and Resilience Lab have joined forces to build a new standard in mental health care—one that emphasizes better outcomes through stronger clinical decision-making, rigorous training, and professional excellence. By combining Resilience Lab’s Methodology & clinically-led training Institute with Cerebral’s extensive reach, clinical network, and care capabilities, we are creating a national model for high-quality, integrated, and accessible behavioral health care.
